Is this a water pill or a high blood pressure pill? ## It actually lowers blood pressure by expelling water from the body " Hydrochlorothiazide, sometimes abbreviated HCT, HCTZ, or HZT is a popular diuretic drug of the thiazide class that acts by inhibiting the kidneys' ability to retain water. This reduces the volume of the blood, decreasing blood return to the heart and thus cardiac output and, by other mechanisms, is believed to lower peripheral vascular resistance.

The pill is tiny, very light peach or rose color, has the letter p on one side and nothing on the other. It is round, with flat top and bottom. It is supposed to be a 12.5mg ( 12 1/2mg ) HCTZ pill of Canadian manufacture. Is this the correct pill. thank you ..... ps. There should be a website that carries pictures and descriptions of ALL medications, regardless of country of origin or manufacturer.

I am trying to find who makes the pink and white capsule for Triamterene/HCTZ. I have taken it for about a year, but recently my pharmac changed to white and black. I do not like it at all and want to find the pink and white again. ## Hi Jackie, I'm having a hard time finding a pink and white version of this capsule, but I did find one that is red and white, imprinted with "DYAZIDE SB" on each side. This particular capsule is identified as Dyazide (hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg + triamterene 37.5 mg).

I have a white tab with M on one side and H 1 on the other. Is this Lisinopril? ## The 10-12.5 Tab is white mine or lite blue. ## Okay, to clear up something in regard to this post... The white, round tablet with an M on one side and H 1 on the other side, separated by a score line, only contains 25mgs of Hydrochlorothiazide, there is no Lisinopril in this particular tablet. You can learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. As to the last post, without knowing the markings, I cannot verify what the tablet contains. Did you ever find out?

I was just told to start taking 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide for my BP. I have been taking domperidone to help increase my milk production so that I can feed my daughter breast milk. I forgot to ask my dr if they were safe to take together as my dr did not prescribe both. ## I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the two, but you should double check this information to be safe. Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. However, since you are breastfeeding, you should be made aware that the Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, which removes excess fluid from the body, so you need to make sure you take in enough fluid to balance it out for your breast mild production. And you should also inform all doctors of everything that you are taking. Are there any other quest...

Does Losartan hctz tab 100-25 mg equal Diovan HCT 320-12.5 tab. I am concerned about the difference in milligrams. I recently started the Losartan. ## It's usually about 100mgs of the Losartan to equal each 160mg of the Valsartan in the Diovan, but your HCTZ (Hydrochlorothiazide) has been raised from 12.5 to 25, so that dose has been doubled. Learn more Hyzaar details here. Did your doctor make this change? It's really a matter of trying it and seeing how it works for you. If it doesn't work, then you may require a dosage adjustment.

I have been told by my doctor to increase my dosage of Hydrochlorothiazide 37.5 25 capsule to twice a day. I am reluctant to do this since I have recently been diagnosed with Glaucoma. ## Have you asked about the possibility of taking a different medication? Learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here. Are you taking it for high blood pressure or a cardiac condition? Short of suffering congestive heart failure or edema, where you need a diuretic of some type, there are other options available to treat both hypertension and other cardiac conditions. The Hydrochlorothiazide is often the first choice that doctors will use to try to lower high blood pressure, but it isn't absolutely essential. I tend to dehydrate very easily, so we ran into serious problems when they tried to leave me o...

light yellow round shaped tablet with A on one side and 28 on the other side ## Shortly after starting lisin/hctz, I have developed a nagging cough especially during the night.
